    Hey guys, we're going to attempt to play Overwatch 2 tonight, but there are still problems with signing into the games server. So, tonight's show may either delayed or cancelled if it takes too long. I'll let you guys know soon. Thanks. #twitchstreamers #Overwatch2

  • Thelovingbrit 🔞Emily (College arc) (@Thelovingbrit) reported

    @AllxringSpider //It took me over an hour just to get into a backfill game then it took no time at all for the game to crash after I finally found where the highlights were located. I hate this. I hate this so much. If I knew this is what overwatch would be, I'd save myself the pain.

  • ItWillBeG ItsAllG (@ItWillBeG) reported

    @aaronkellerOW please fix doomfist he is the worst Tank and playable character in overwatch right now he is a melee character yet he does significantly less damage then a rienhardt's hammer

  • Flyicarus_ Fly 🌊 (@Flyicarus_) reported

    I Love how all the Overwatch streamers are running OW2 like there’s no DDoS attack but regular payers can’t even load the ******* game

  • shiniztru Shin (@shiniztru) reported

    @BlizzardCS so we were forced to abolish overwatch 1 and must wait for a buggy broken server ow2 and can’t merge all our hard work? Care to chime in when this is getting fixed?

  • FateHolder Fate Holder (@FateHolder) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I can’t believe I have to be on this **** again today wtf why can’t y’all fix y’all’s **** servers. But y’all got money remake overwatch 1 and call it over watch 2 but can’t make the servers work?

  • TransGirlCakes Cakes 🏳️‍⚧️ (@TransGirlCakes) reported

    Overwatch 2 players using the excuse "noo phone verification prevents hacking in high elo" Or you know..just..make your anticheat less ****** instead of exploiting poor people. **** even league doesn't do that and that **** only has a boosting and smurfing problem.

  • BailyeetTermite green new deal now (@BailyeetTermite) reported

    overwatch 2 got some serious serious issues. Namely the inability to log in. Even once im logged in, nothing has merged, so there goes hundreds of hours of gameplay and unlocked cosmetics. On top of that, battlepass sucks ***, and i will never forgive the move to F2P format.

  • Hera141414 Cardnal (@Hera141414) reported

    Did they fix Overwatch 2 yet?

  • Kamunt UNMISTAKABLE LATIN FLAVOR (@Kamunt) reported

    ...WAIT, BLIZZARD SHUT DOWN OVERWATCH IN ORDER TO LAUNCH OVERWATCH 2 AND IMMEDIATELY OW2 WAS BEEN SLAMMED WITH DDOS ATTACKS, AND ALSO PEOPLE WITH PRE-PAID PHONES CANNOT PLAY THE GAME ANYMORE????? SO OVERWATCH 1 IS JUST GONE FOREVER AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE PERMA-LOCKED OUT???

  • horchatatea ≫∘🦇 HORRORcha! 🦇∘≪ (@horchatatea) reported

    @scannermodels Yeah you cant use a prepaid phone service to have ur account merged, basically calling a **** ton of ppl poor and i feel like deleting overwatch 1 was a horrible idea

  • P_pilf Ppilf (@P_pilf) reported

    I HAVE TO SIGN IN AND THEN IT THROWS ME BACK AT THE QUEUE! **** OVERWATCH! This also means not stream today I'm laying down

  • Italianclownz Carlo (@Italianclownz) reported

    I logged into #Overwatch2 today and I got an account merge option. And yet, still none of my Overwatch 1 items transferred. My Battle net account has been linked for years. Still queue issues. If this was just a DDoS attack, its a sophisticated one. I am concerned.

  • RyanLaureano8 Ryan Laureano (@RyanLaureano8) reported

    The reason why is because overwatch 2 the more I see it is just a halo infinite but a bit more drier, not even the graphics changed a lot and you have to insert a phone number which judging from day 1 ddos I wouldn’t trust them with that info

  • Spizy28 LOG l Spizy28 (@Spizy28) reported

    @ParadiseGawd @aaronkellerOW I mean im not gunna accuse anyone, but it is kinda sketch how the biggest overwatch streamers have no server issues at all lol

  • superbowllied Bunnie (@superbowllied) reported

    Overwatch 2's Launch maybe would not have been AS Bad :TM: If we had even the slightest communication from the devs at all. FFXIV EW struggled its first week but we had constant updates by the devs on how they were fixing things. All we got in the past 2 days was "oops DDos"

  • 8BitRickk Rick (@8BitRickk) reported

    It's been 30 hrs since Overwatch tweeted they were having issues and 20 hrs since A lead guy from OW has tweeted issues. Nothing since. I guess AAA games can get away with this but it is completely unacceptable. Was supposed to be an exciting launch week and it was the opposite.

  • WakieDan DanWakie (@WakieDan) reported

    @ATIChannel @North00 It's been ridiculous. I think I got lucky because I was online and in a match during the merger rollout, so I was able to merge it all without a problem. But my friend, who is the biggest Overwatch fan and has been playing since 2016, can't even get in at all. Awful launch

  • KiraKiratibutr Chapulinix (@KiraKiratibutr) reported

    @Kephrii From as far as I play I think it nothing new it like they're trying to do what fortnite does with Fortnite chapter 2 and 3 but problem is Fortnite atleast add new gameplay changing mechanic overwatch 2 just feels like overwatch 1 there nothing no true gameplay changing mechanic

  • johnsonrod09532 Rod Johnson (@johnsonrod09532) reported

    Days since overwatch released: 2 Number of games I’ve played: 0 fix your **** @PlayOverwatch @aaronkellerOW
